System and methods for accelerated data storage and retrieval

A method for accelerated data storage of data, comprising:

• compressing a first data block with a first data compression technique to provide a first compressed data block;
• and
• compressing a second data block with a second data compression technique to provide a second compressed data block, wherein the first data compression technique and the second data compression technique are different;
• storing the first and second data compressed blocks on a memory device wherein the compression and storage occurs faster than the first and second data blocks are able to be stored on the memory device in uncompressed form.

A method for accelerated storage of data, comprising:

• receiving a first and a second data block over a communications channel;
• compressing the first data block with a first data compression technique to provide a first compressed data block;
• compressing the second data block with a second data compression technique to provide a second compressed data block, wherein the first data compression technique and the second data compression technique are different;
• and
• storing the first and second data compressed blocks on a memory device wherein the compression and storage occurs faster than the first and second data blocks are able to be stored on the memory device in uncompressed form.

A method for accelerated retrieval of data comprising:

• retrieving a first compressed data block and a second compressed data block from a memory device;
• and
• decompressing the first compressed data block and the second compressed data block, wherein the retrieval and decompression occurs faster than the first data block is able to be retrieved from the memory device in uncompressed form;
• wherein the first compressed data block was compressed with a first data compression technique to provide a first compressed data block;
• wherein the second compressed data block was compressed with a second data compression technique to provide a second compressed data block, wherein the first data compression technique and the second data compression techniques are different;
• and
• wherein the first and second data compression blocks were stored on the memory device.
